Blue Screen of Death After Trying To Install Windows On Pavilion ze4900?

After my hard drive died in my Pavilion ze4900, I replaced it with another notebook hard drive I had laying around.I also tried installing Windows XP home from a Windows installation CD, the same OS the laptop had before the hard drive died. All went well until the laptop was done loading all the installation files, instead of giving me the option to either install Windows or repair Windows, the laptop ends up showing me a blue screen with the message: " A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer." What can I do to resolve this issue? I have installed Windows XP on another computer using the same CD, so the CD hasn't gone corrupt and the replacement hard drive is barely used. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  The first thing you will want to check is if there are any issues with the hard drive you put in.  Run the BIOS diagnostics for the hard drive and the hard ware to make sure there are no issues. HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2) And. HP Notebook PCs - Testing a Hard Disk from the BIOS Please let me know how things go. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

  • Windows 7 - Blue screen of death after Boot Camp install

    Hello! I have done some searches with no answers, so...
    After installing Windows 7 from scratch I then install Boot Camp 3.0 which then leads to the Windows blue screen of death upon reboot. I then have to recover Windows to the previous state prior to installing Boot Camp.
    Help!?

    Most likely, Apple HFS read-only, which is AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys - rename those and see.
    You might want to run chkdsk after all this to make sure there are no errors with the drive and file system.
    Windows Explorer will not accept HFS+ filenames with special characters and will "green bar" and hang when it does, too.
    The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern.
    Rename AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys
    By doing the following you will disable HFS mount / read mode on windows XP, Vista, 7.
    Navigate to c:/windows/system32/drivers/AppleMNT.sys, rename the AppleMNT.sys file to something like AppleMNT_keep.sys or something of your likings.
    The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern. It seems to happen on many systems.
    You find it in Windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys
    Renaming to AppleHFS_disabled.sys will avoid the blue screens until you have found another solution or Apple updates Bootcamp 3
    After renaming both myself because they are no longer "*.sys" or something? they are gone. In my case AppleHFS prevented Windows Backup from running to end and was causing error "some files skipped" and while some might find reading convenient, I prefer Windows not have even read-only access.
    You can probably do better with MacDrive, or probably Paragon's HFS driver, to read AND write if needed, to HFS from Windows.

  • Blue Screen of Death after GPIB Software Drivers 2.1 install, nipsbfw.sys, nipalk.sys

    I get a blue screen of death after I upgraded the GPIS Software Drivers to 2.1. The screen complains about the following files: nipsbfw.sys and nipalk.sys.
    I'll copy down the exact message and post it...

    Hello fkwok �
    First, make sure GPIB software driver 2.1 is the correct driver for your operating system and board by clicking here.
    If you are using Windows 2000, this KnowledgeBase is extremely useful.

  • Qosmio F20 blue screen of death after shutdown

    Hi there,
    I get the blue screen of death after shutdown on my Qosmio F20 laptop.
    Error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    I assume that it is somehow related to tv tuner card.
    I have tried to restore system - no good. After restoration for some time it was OK. But then BSOD appeared again.
    Sometimes it also appears when I connect USB HDDs or even when I insert DVD disk.
    And for shure everytime I shut laptop down.
    Has anybody got ideas?

    Hi
    Reading you last message I really dont know what you expect from this forum ?:|
    We all here can provide only some suggestions and opinions.
    Without any notebook tests and checks nobody will be able to provide a magic solution
    I hope you understand this.
    So back to the notebook issue.
    There is a one way to find out if the issue could be related to the software or hardware.
    You have to reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD. If the same BSOD will appear after the installation from the recovery CD then the chance are that the hardware is faulty!
    I think you should check this out.

  • Blue screen of death after installing Boot Camp on Windows 7

    Hello and thanks for the help!
    Brnad new user to Boot Camp here. After a new install of Windows 7, I install Boot Camp but then when rebooting Windows I get the blue screen of death. When letting Windows attempt a repair, it fails and I am forced to Recover Windows 7 to a state before I installed Boot Camp.
    Help!?

    Solution for this problem is simple. You have to apply Mac Book Air SMC Update 1.7 which you can do from Mac OS X with Software Update or you can download required update manually from Apple support site. If you don't use BootCamp and have installed Windows without it, you will have to boot Mac OS X from external drive just to apply required update. After you applied SMC update, you can boot to Windows and apply BootCamp update 3.2 and 3.3.
    There is a known problem with Mac Book Air EFI Update 2.3, which you won't be able to apply and it will show in Software Update every time you check for updates. There is no solution for it yet.
    You get BSOD if you have BootCamp 3.1 and Windows 7 SP1 installed and you have commited Windows update which will break applemtp.sys as your SMC firmware is too old. It applies to Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit versions in BootCamp or native install.

  • Blue Screen Of Death after installing Ovi/PC Suite...

    Windows Vista, 32-bit, Home Premium, Service Pack 2
    Nokia 5530 XpressMusic
    Problem: BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) occurs constantly. 
    I think the problem is the phone drivers (via cable). The program itself shouldn't be it.
    I made a system recovery, which worked. And my computer was restored. But when I tried once again the same problem occurred.
    So my question is: How can I use the phone with the computer without getting the BSOD?
    Thank you

    I have posed the question in the Customer Care Center Europe
    The automatic answer was (translated from german):
    Thanks for your question. The Customer Care will contact you in 48h. This was on the 12.01.11.
    Since then no answer.
    Hey customers, we should stop buying Nokia phones, because they ignore our problems.

  • Blue Screen of Death After RAW Compatibility Update

    My friend updated her 13" Black MacBook yesterday, specifically the "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.3". After a reboot, she got the Apple "Blue Screen of Death", with no login window showing. Looking at system.log, there's a section that looks to be the culprit (this began after restarting due to the install of the update):
    Nov 7 13:55:29 Philbert /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow[31]: Login Window Application Started

    Nov 7 13:56:02 Philbert com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.WindowServer[70]): Exited abnormally: Hangup
    Here are some things I've observed/tried, many from sources via the Internet:
    - I'm able to login in single-user mode
    - I'm not able to login in Safe Mode (hangs on white screen with Apple logo)
    - I've tried booting off the 10.5 install DVD and running Disk Utility - verify/repair disk, this comes back ok. However, if I try to verify/repair permissions, it runs for about 10 - 20 mins then freezes. I let the frozen process run overnight (10-12 hours) and no feedback. I can move the mouse, but I cannot select anything.
    - When the laptop is booted and on the blue screen, I can connect to it via AFP
    - I've tried manually changing the permissions of "/", by doing - chmod 775 /; chmod 1775 /;
    - I've tried removing the com.apple.WindowServer.plist and com.apple.loginscreen.plist files in case they were corrupted by the update
    - I tried running the "installer" command to re-install the update package from the command line. I run it with the "verbose" flags, I get no output and the process hangs.
    Since I can connect via AFP I figure I'll be backing the data up and re-installing OS X. Pretty lame though, considering this failure was caused by running a Software Update. Anyone have a last minute suggestion for me before I go down that path?
    I have the full system.log if anyone is curious!
    Cheers!

    i don't think this is a router issue...i believe it's a hardware issue...this error occured when computer is not getting sufficient memory, drivers are not installed correctly or due to invalid driver installation of any devices installed on the computer...to just isolate the problem try connecting computer directly to the modem and check are you are getting a same error message or not and let me know.

  • Blue screen of death after ram upgrade on a Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop

    I ordered an upgrade for a Toshiba Satellite C655(PSC08U-02D037) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I've trying for a month to get this to work consistently. When I first installed it, it worked fine for the first few days, but then after that I kept getting an error that would pop up "Display has Stopped Responding And Recovered" and the screen would flicker turn to black for a second. It didn't happen a lot at first, but then it got progressively worse to the point that it would crash my browsers, and sometimes when I tried to play certain videos, I would get the blue screen of death, and then the computer would have to restart.
    I updated my bios, graphics drivers, I checked to see if maybe I failed to install it properly and reinstalled it, no avail. Finally I just took the ram out, and then I stopped having these issues. Which leads me to believe that it may have something to do with the memory upgrade. I ran the scanner as suggested when I was looking to upgrade, and what was recommended was a ( System 2gb DDR3-1600 Sodimm 1.35v CL11 ) ram stick part number CT6316802, which is the one I ended up ordering. I'm not sure what else to do but assume that what I ordered is either defective or just doesn't work with my laptop. 

    Hi jinjoe,
    I am sorry for the issues you are experiencing with your upgrade. How is this memory installed? Is it just one module or did you purchase two? Did you install it with any exisitng RAM? If you have two modules have you tried installing one module at a time? This would help us determine if the issue is with one defective memory module or both causing the issue.
     

  • Windows 8 crashes and is stuck in blue screen help menu after trying to update to 8.1?

    Hi all,after recieving a prompt yesterday by windows to update to 8.1 (about time!), I turned on my computer this morning to see that it was stuck on the HP boot logo. After 5-10 mins, I realised it must have started incorrectly so i shut it back down and booted it up again. After the boot logo passed, the windows 8 symbol appeared with "updating your system" or something along those lines. I let it there for a while (20 mins) then when I returned it said that the installation had faield and was "returning to previous version of windows" One thing led to another and when the computer restarted again, I am now stuck with the blue screen troubleshooting menu. Yes, this would be easy to fix by a refresh BUT... It says to enter the password for Admin, the non-existent admin account with a required password?I tried the start-up settings, but that just creates another blue screen of death.How am I to bypass the password and actually access my computer? Even if I were to delete everything?There is a cmd option... Anyone know any commands that would be appropriate?Thanks in advance, Josh

  • Blue screen of Death? Tried various things..

    Hi..my wife's iBook G4 froze on her yesterday. She then powered of by holding down the power button. Then, she started up again, only to find the Blue screen of Death. When I got home, this is what I found too. I tried to boot from the install disc by holding down the C button but it doesn't give me any options, as it just goes to the blue screen again while I'm holding down the C button. I then connected my MacBook Pro via firewire and mounted her iBook on my desktop..no problem. So I pulled all necessary files off that she wanted and did a Disk Repair on her computer via my MBP. I verified the disc and no problems showed so does that mean there are no repairs to do? I found it strange that it would book fine on my desktop but only give her a blue screen? I also tried to reset PRAM and that didn't do anything. It seemed weird though that even by holding down the C button with disc install 1 inside, that it wouldn't boot from disc either...
    The other problem is we bought the iBook brand new 4-5 years ago, but in Korea. So the Hardware Repair disk is in Korean and I can't understand anything. The OTHER problem is that we're in a part of the world where there are no Apple dealers! So no place to take it in to...
    Any help?
    Thanks!

    skills,
    I found that if I press down on the computer to the left of the trackpad just 1.5" below the option key, it makes a funny sound, but gets to log in screen.
    Hey skills,
    Well careful where you press. That pressing to the left of the trackpad was an old recommendation for the G3 iBooks.
    What's there in the G4 1Books and that strange noise you hear is the hard drive.
    What's in question here is the Graphics Processor Unit or GPU. It's a single chip and since Macs are Graphical User Interface machines these instructions run thru the GPU. Either the GPU is bad or the soldering is coming loose (BGA). When you put pressure on the GPU the problem corrects itself and pretty much confirms that it's a BGA problem.
    In the G4 the GPU is pretty much under the option - apple keys depending on the model and size. The GPU sits under a huge heat spreader so pressure is better applied from beneath the GPU. Sometimes it's better if the bottom comes off.
    If it is the GPU the logic board will have to come out and be sent off for "reballing". In this procedure there is a definite possibility that the chip will not survive the "operation" and die on the table. There are two places that I'm aware of in the US that does this. I've done a bunch of them. Most get donated to schools in the inner city.

  • Blue Screen of death after BEFW11S4 firmware update.

    I just updated my firmware for my BEFW11S4 v.4 router. Now every 5-10 minutes when I am on the internet I will get a blue screen of death containing the error "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" I did some searching and really came with no soultion. I just system restored to about a week ago and it did not work. I'm running Windows XP. Any suggestions?

  • Blue Screen of death - now can't load Windows (even in safe mode)

    Last night laptop (Satellite L500 19Z; Win 7 64 bit) crashed whilst playing CIV4. Got a blue screen of death; before I had chance to read any of the error messages on it the machine rebooted.
    It loaded windows in safe mode fine then, and informed me as it had loaded safe mode OK the problem will be related to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I'd installed until it would load normally. As it was late last night I shut down and thought I'd sort it in the morning (in retrospect this may have been a mistake ....).
    Today, when the machine tries to boot up it attempts a Startup Repair; unfortunately this fails every time and it says "Startup repair has tried several times but still cannot detemine the cause of the problem"
    I looked at the log it produces but it passes all the individual tests.
    I also can't access the advanced options for system recovery & support, which appears on the Startup Repair dialog box as it demands I be logged in, which apparently I'm not (presumably as the machine never got to the windows login screen before trying the startup repair). The error message reads "you must be logged in to access system recovery options. If you are having trouble logging in please contact your computer administrator for assistance. please click OK to restart the computer."
    I've had a go at booting into the various advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt etc. but the outcome is the same).
    I also tried the Repair your Computer option from the advanced boot options screen, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same login error mentioned above.
    Is there a way to repair or even run the hard disk based windows recovery (haven't got the recovery DVD with me as I'm away from home for a couple weeks) without logging into windows? I would have expected there to be but have yet to figure out how to do it.
    (there are no disks in the disk drive, no other devices attached to the laptop - I've tried it with mains power and with the battery and have not noticed any differences)
    Thanks
    James

    Normaly the reinstall data is on a separate part on your HD, not in Windows.
    The register is only used for Windows.
    If it doesn't work you can always try to reinstall from a DVD later.
    It does mean all your data on C:\ will be gone. If you can hook your HD on an other PC you can try to safe your work with a recover prog.

  • Need help with " BOOTCAMP" after trying to install windows 7

    I have a problem. I was trying to install windows 7 on my MBP, i followed all of the instructions. When i was trying to install the cd it was asking me in what partition that i wanted to install the drivers Partition 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. I had to create a new one and it asked me and gave me and option that it will need to erase mac(journaled) and it gave me another option to create a new volumen, the one that i erased was mac(journaled) i don't know if i was supposed to or not. Now when i click the BOOTCAMP to start the windows set up this is the message that pops up " The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows. "
    I tried everything and it is till doing the same thing i don't know what to do !! if somebody can help me i will very much appreciated.
    Another thing i did not mention. The message started showing up after i click the option erase and mac(journaled) and create a new one and after i installed mac os x 10.5.7 in the bootcamp partition.

    Used Boot Camp Assistant only, and not Disk Utility, to create one volume for Windows? you wouldn't want to erase and use mac extended journaled.
    At this point, you will need to initialize your drive and restore from TimeMachine as one HFS+ partition and redo with BCA.

  • Can't find a bootable device after trying to install Windows 7 in bootcamp

    I've been trying to install Windows 7, 64 bit. Haven't managed yet due to problem that I've just posted about in a separate thread. Now, though, when I switch on it says 'can't find a bootable device'. If I switch on whilst holding down the Option key, the (OSx) internal hard drive is there and I can boot up. But I don't want to have to do that every time... Tried resetting the PRAM as advised, made no difference.

    Look at Apple () -->system preferences -->*Startup Disk*
    hope this helps
